miles—not to the music of a gasoline
motor humming under his warniing

lonely pine tree, for there were no peo
ple.
Now these pine forsts and the jay
that played hide and seek there have
given place to boundless acres of fine
:farms and many miles of good roads.
‘Tlmre are thousands of people who
ilive there. They have their trading
center like other people, and their
irade runs into hundreds of thousands
f dollars every year. Over this bus
iness as a trading center, Cordele is
erenely sleeping.
i every other direction our trading
crritory spreads more than twenty
miles. The Flint is just eight miles
away, as the crow flies, and beyond
lies a strip of country that is now
hickly settled. Few of these people

‘he merchants are making plans tc

. i is a praiseworthy move
nile reason that the

¢ and rest is no little thing to be
onsidered.
There is a great difference in effi
ncy of the overworked, bloodless
mployee in a store and that of the
cfreshed, rvested employee whose
countenance is beaming with new life!
as he goes to his task every moming.‘
It means a difference in results in thel
day’s earnings. It matters not what
class of customers a store has, the
tired, haggard appearance of the clerk
must have a depressing effect on the
person who comes to buy.
The bouyant, wholesouled smile, and
hearty welcome is sadly wanting in
the overworked, jaded clerk and the
custcmer can even tell if it is forced.
Tco long hours in the summer can do
much harm in this way.
Most of the business is done before
six o’clock in the down-town business
district. In the cities it is ‘done be
fore two o’clock in the afternoon. In
Ccrdele little will be left for the man
who holds his force of employees later
than six o’clock. It is an easy matter
o regulate the closing hours if the
"zle business district cooperates.
| @ public will learn quickly and lit
-Ilc will remain to be lost at the store
that rigidly adheres to the plan. There
w'll hardly be enough left to pay the
¢hting bill for the additional two
licars.
Let all the merchants cooperate and
invest these last dull, slow hours in
stre enough rest for the employces.
Mie morrow will be better for it and
b= regs will be better.

Berrien county has more registered
voters than the county of Bibb. Ten
years ago, as pointed out by the Tif
ton Gazette, it had about 2,000,
against more than 4,500 now. Tif
ton was then a portion of Berrien coun
ty. Now, they have a fine county up
there, and Berrien has increased in
opulation and tax values wonderfully.
Small, compact counties are preferable

GEORGIA LEADS THE WORLD
IN VALUE OF PEACH CROCP
Fort Valley, Ga., April 15.—A late
official report from Washinston shows
that Georgia, in the value of the peach
crop, led all other states. California
vroduced a large quantity, but fell
hort in quality, had to accept a smal
er price than did Georgia and took
second place in the measure of dol
‘ars. Georgia is admittedly pre-em
nent in the peach world and advances
its lead with each recurring season.
Charles J. Haden, president Geor
gia Chamber of Commerce, has this to
say about the Georgia peach: “I have
hought California peaches in London
and in Paris that had crossed the con-
tinent by rail, passing through Geor
g'a and thence across the Atlantic
Yy ship, and paid six cents a piece for
hem. They were wrapped in paper
n which the grower's name was print
ed. I have talked with the dealers
who sold them and they were as glib
with what they knew of the California
peach as if they were native of the Pa
cific soil. When I referred to the Geor
gia peach, the dealer became suddenly
silent. He could hardly have told un
der oath.
“There is no danger of the peaches
being over-produced for there are 100,
000,000 mouths in the United States
and they are multiplying with greater
speed than the peach.”

IN HEATH ARE RECOVERED.
Most of the problems of health origi
nate in the stomach. Most of these
ailments can be cured. Thousands of
people right in the state of Georgia
are needlessly suffering from stomach
troubles, while thousands of others
have found health by the use of Mayr’s
Wonderful Remedy. The first dose of
this remarkable remedy is proof. Here
are the words of two Georgians who
have used it.
B. Duncan, 136 W. Peachtreet, St.,
Atlanta, Ga.—“l took one bottle of
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and it did
me so much good I must continue the
treatment.”
Salistia Thomas, 565 La France St.,
Atlanta, Ga.—“l have taken your rem
edy for five weeks. I feel like I hardly
know my strength—my appetite is
fine.”
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy gives per
manent results for stomach, liver, and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get
one bottle of your druggist now and
try it on an absolute guarantee—if not
satisfactory money will be refunded.

An abundance of fish and a great
time are reported by the party that

expected to make such a catch that
they could send some of the fish back
to their friends here, but the weather
conditions were somewhat unfavora
ble. In the party were W. L. Robuck,
W. C. Hamilton, Hewell Shipp, C. H.
